No V8 T-bird specs in 85

Whoops, my bad.

I guess it was more a lead-in to my other question...

I know it's still a fox body, I just didn't know if there was a real big difference from the Lincoln to the Ford, but mainly, how do you upgrade the controls for CFI? I see there are specs for an 84 TBird...

Buddy of mine in AZ has a 78 camaro 305 with a 4 speed (broke ) for sale absolutely beautiful rust free no undercoating body. stored inside $2,500.00 Howard 480 898 1900

iraceitall ; I'm the person that got the HP on '83 (302)T-bird reduced to 195 from 205. It's not low enough, S/B 175 or so. I can't see it running better than 2 or 3 tenths under at most. Needs a stand alone ECU and I was unable to find larger CFM injectors that fit in the CFI. On a fixed income , I threw in the towel and sold the car as a "Bracket" racer. This combo in my eyes isn't a "Dime Rocket" type of racecar. Good Luck, Fred
